personally I would pay the bill but still question your charges. If you rainwater recycle then your sewage rate is reduced, if you reduce your water usage by flushing loo with rainwater your sewage will go down again. A toilet uses 7- 9 litres per flush average home 200 litres a day from toilet use @ £1.95 per cube = £3.90 a day water plus £2.35 sewage Rainwater electric use £3.12 per month ...

So there is

I just want to publicly say a BIG THANK YOU and WELL DONE to the entertainments committee of Dawlish RBL for their magnificent production Panto of Sinbad the Sailor, last night, Saturday 26th. £5 extremely well spent. Looking forward to your summer show.

Yes, very good Don.

What a very odd comparison to make; Dawlish, Totnes and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.  Is there some relevance, I'm presuming you once lived in Tower Hamlets.

This topic has gone strangely quiet

No matter how much he was off his t*ts on drugs, there is no way he would have ever won the Pram Race !

My wife wants to join that choir where do they meet ?

I wonder what course of action Tesco's may take (exeter race course)

I haven't seen the car park but I would have thought that £2000 could pay for a lot of cleaning up.

Yeah Ellie's Attic is great (it's on Shutterton Industrial Estate. Turn into the estate, then turn right by Dawlish Carpets. Ellie's Attic is on your left. They've just expanded into the premises next door so much stuff do they have).

@ZIGGY , well perhaps we'll get some snow over the weekend, get blocked in and then we won't have to go school or work.

AS 2013 gets underway attention moves to a new home for the new year and Barratt is highlighting five powerful reasons why buyers should choose one of its homes. "The new year is traditionally a time to look forward and we're gearing up for a busy time at our developments in Torquay and Dawlish,'' said sales director Caroline Hill. See more.. .. ...

What a load of crap. If granted are the TDC planners going to police the designated area to make sure its users havent just left their car in the car park. Not likely.

I think this was the Oak in Ziggys picture it was lopped and now it has been cut down completely

Yes I could see the fire fighters and the smoke coming from that direction when I was up walking the dog on Sandy Lane Playing Fields about 10.00 this morning. Someone also walking his dog could tell me at that time that the incident was in EastCliff Close and that he understood it had been caused by builders/roofers equipment catching the roof alight and that the wind was aiding and abetting ...

Tesco win it by a head or could be a nose

@stephen15 - i don't know. i don't live in the town to notice.Perhaps someone else can tell you. I just happened to be a passenger in a car yesterday that was being driven along Queen Street and then The Strand and I just happened to notice the Christmas trees and lights. There were no festive lights on but whether that's because we are no longer in Christmas or because they don't work or what, ...

OMG WHAT ARE THEY DOING ?

Wondering the heating allowance that everyone gets once you turn 60 cant be returned i tried and was told that if you feel that strongly about it sir you could always give it to charity as i have said many times its a very strange world we live in.

Bit late posting on this but I moved to Dawlish earlier in the year. Before Christmas I went out with the intention of buying as much as I could locally. It turned out I couldn't even buy a decent pack of Christmas cards, not even from the charity shops promoting their own charities (so naff).  I don't know how the so-called gift shops manage to stay in business, it was all tat.. Bought a couple ...

@stephen15 , i've emailed it to you. I will be adding private messaging to this site at some point!

Poor old unlucky Helen Grant must have a collection.

For those on the Littleweek/Firbank Rd estate know who the seagull feeders are because the birds point them out.

@Lynne yes but i obviously cannot reveal my sources

A survey carried out by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) also found more than a third believe they should keep generous final salary pensions.

@ 'I Hate Dawlish And Everyone In It' and 'Wondering'  I have friends with tattoos/body art and they are neither unsavoury or foul-mouthed! One is radio DJ and three others are a doctor, a yoga teacher and a solicitor.

Today's Dawlish Gazette.25 years ago.Work has begun to implement some of the traffic orders ,which were agreed last year, in a bid to alleviate Dawlish town centre's chronic traffic troubles. Can anyone remember what work was carried out and also was there a great improvement?

@dave 19mph is far too dangerous to drive on Dawlish roads at the moment! The potholes are horrendous (and yes I have reported them online). Personally its not single bikers I have a problem with it's the groups that can be quite abusive and obstructive. I wish they wouldn't drive so close to each other as we already know what can happen if they bang into each other. As for parking illegally ...
